The North Dakota General Fund Appropriations Limits Initiative, also known as Measure 1, was on the September 7, 1976 ballot in North Dakota as an initiated state statute, where it was defeated.[1][2] The measure would have limited the amount of money that could be appropriated from the general fund for operation of the state government to a total of $332,000,000 for the biennial appropriation periods between 1975 and 1979.[3]
